Sir Leonard Woolley directed the excavations at Ur in southern Iraq from 1922 to 1934 for the Joint Expedition of the British
Museum and the University of Pennsylvania Museum. As part of this involvement, the University of Pennsylvania Museum sent
Leon Legrain, Curator of the Babylonian Section, during the 1924–1925 and 1925–1926 seasons. Most of the records of the Ur
expedition are located at the British Museum. The Museum Archives hold only a few records. The records consist of general
correspondence, indexes and catalogs, publications, and Legrain research. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed
on the Near East records.
